Re: TLR Carbie
The carb kit pictured is from B&J racing in the US, but I was told by OKO Aus that they can help with a kit for the TLR, however when I asked for further details they were unable to help.

FM350 - what was the nature of the further details you asked for?

Re: TLR Carbie
I can see exactly how Bobs B&J carb kit fits onto a TLR, but was unable to get any information from OKO Aus as to how their kit fits onto the bikes, or any feedback from anyone who has one fitted.

Re: TLR Carbie
OKO Australia don't sell a 'kit' for the TLR..only a few components eg. manifold, carburettor, throttle cable. That’s only 50% of the conversion. Considering an airbox modification is a necessity (unless you plan on riding at dust and water free locations), supply and demand does not warrant producing a kit nor would a kit like the B&J one be something we'd be prepared to offer for purchase. In our opinion a pod filter is insufficient air filtration protection for trials conditions. Considering the current demand we estimate if we were to offer a quality conversion kit it would retail at well over $1000 Australian Dollars...unlikely anyone would purchase one....
Re: TLR Carbie
As the stock TLR air filter consists of a single layer of foam over a gauze flame trap, so I would have thought a pod type filter would be comparable to this? Bobs B&J kit I think sells for less than $500 US, so seems very good value for anyone looking to improve TLR performance.

Re: TLR Carbie
guesswho - any comments re the airbox to carb arrangement with that kit? would also be interested to hear if the angled coupling (looks like a piece of radiator hose) that goes at the front sufficiently supports the weight of the carb. Bit concerned it (carb) may bounce around..

Re: TLR Carbie
Is the OKO Australia manifold angled to allow the carbs to fit properly on the TLR I wonder?
